- Radiological findings are key in diagnosing pulmonary oedema.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive clinical classification of pulmonary oedema causes.
- To present a radiological classification of pulmonary oedema.
- To describe the varied radiological appearances of pulmonary oedema.
Main Methods:
- Review and synthesis of existing literature on pulmonary oedema.
- Development of a clinical classification system.
- Development of a radiological classification system.
Main Results:
- A clinical classification encompassing major causes of pulmonary oedema.
- A radiological classification detailing characteristic imaging findings.
- Description of diverse radiological presentations, including interstitial and alveolar oedema.
Conclusions:
